For schools there are several options for participation. You can choose as many as you want from the following:

*During the week commencing the 19th of June, there will be a number of designated slots in the Railway Path around the Easton area, where groups of students with teachers and assisting staff (max. number of 100 people), will come together and stencil stars onto the asphalt of the path. If you would like your school to participate in this activity please email us asap at: hello@starsforlives.org.uk

*You can paint and make stars in your school grounds and make star sculptures out of recycled materials. Remember to send us some photos with a brief statement to add them on to the digital map of Stars for Lives constellations.

*Your art teacher can work with different classes to paint stars on bolts of canvas within your school environment. After completion these bolts of canvas will be taken to be part of the mobile exhibition for the Stars for Lives initiative.

If you are a teacher: 

• This is an example of active citizenship for a humanitarian cause. By drawing and making stars through this initiative, the students can learn about human rights, citizenship, perspective, geometry, art and design, folk culture and many more subjects. You can join us in developing an educational pack in different languages that will support this initiative to take place in various schools in the future in connection with the school’s curriculum.
